An 18-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped by three unidentified boys, has committed suicide in Amarata, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
It was learnt that the victim was an indigene of Oduali community in Abua/Odua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The deceased was said to have hanged herself because of the trauma she experienced after the incident. A source said the victim was raped at gunpoint in an uncompleted building.
“The three boys forced her into an uncompleted building and raped her. Everything about her changed from that day. She was devastated after the incident.
“When she told her sister and the husband her experience, her sister’s husband, who is a pastor, asked her to describe any of her attacker and she described one of the boys.
“The boy was traced to his home, but he absconded. The pastor counseled her and promised to pursue the matter to a logical conclusion,” the source, who pleaded anonymity, said.
